“…The main idea of this approach is to apply the procedures for sequential transformation of the model of the projected system in such a way that at each subsequent stage this model begins to correspond to a larger list of requirements for the system being designed than the model of the previous stage [14]. Thanks to the automatic or automated generation of such models, the use of multilevel verification becomes possible, which allows to identify and eliminate errors in the early design stages [15]. That is why it seems particularly expedient to apply the model-oriented approach to the co-design of the HCS fop, which in this case involves the construction of the following models:…”

The paper was carried out with the partial funding of the scientific project of Complex study of the architectures of 2D processor arrays that perform fine-grained processing parallelism and fast algorithms for processing speckled images to create VLSI video processors for real-time systems."This article proposes an approach to the construction of a technological platform for designing function-oriented processors (FOP) built on the basis of homogeneous computing environments (OVS). A feature of the proposed approach is the use of co-design -a simultaneous and interconnected design of hardware (HW) and software (SW) FOP components. The paper presents proposals for the implementation of this approach, based on the use of the principle of model-based design, which allows you to make the co-design process iterative and effectively distribute data processing procedures between HW and SW -components of FOP. Based on the consideration of the experience in implementing such solutions, the paper presents the composition of functional subsystems of technological platforms, a diagram of information interaction between these subsystems based on intensive using of web-technologies at all stages of the design and operation of FOP.

“…Phased array processing can be characterized as a streaming application with high data rates and processing requirements, but a regular processing structure. Because a scalable and regular solution is needed, a reconfigurable multi-processor architecture is proposed [12]. Such a reconfigurable processing architecture provides flexibility and has a number of advantages.…”

To apply model-based design to embedded systems that interface with the physical world, including simulation and verification, current tools fall short. They must provide mathematical (model) definitions that stay close to the specification of the system. They must allow multiple domains, such as the continuous-time (CT), discrete-time (DT) and dataflow (DF) domain, in a single model including welldefined interaction. They must support model transformations for refining a model during development. And most importantly, they must accurately include and simulate different notions of time in the model. UNITI is a model-based design flow and modelling and simulation environment that delivers on all these aspects. It is based on components that are signal transformations, and therefore mathematical functions. However, in each domain the representation of a signal differs. As components have the same structure in each domain, we can use unified composition operators to represent multiple domains in a single model. Furthermore, this composition provides a unified perspective on time in the domains, even though we differentiate between different notions of time. Time becomes a local property of the model, allowing us to represent and simulate time transformations such as time delays exactly without losing efficiency. Finally, model transformations are defined for such components, which are used for refining and developing the model and which are guided by the design steps in the design flow. We will formally define the domains, composition operators and transformations of UNITI and verify the approach with a case study on a phased array beamforming system.
